Can anyone tell me whats the procedure to participate in next marathon and where will I get info about it?
Great FIRST attempt wish you the best for the neaxt round around...guess NY, Boston marathons may be easier after this experience...keep it up..do not get discouraged..
you forgot to suggest Africa where the world's Olympians come from...hotter than hell.. Every tom dick and harry is just ready to criticize Bharat/Hindustan/India
What is the point of holding it when the temperature is 35C? No wonder the same foreign athletes do not show up every year. They would have gotten fried in Mumbai heat. Cool weather of Delhi in Jan or even Bangalore would have been better. Best would be to move it to a clean location like Kerala. Other than scoring political points and an opportunity for film crazy public what did the marathon achieve?
